In the depths of everywhen
permeated by totality
Am I god?
Yes a mere mortal
gripped by timelessness

Why crave the ogre totality
whose bliss and emptiness
resist the new
In a straitjacket of everything
In the regulation
of destiny

Come through the gates of this and that
a secret whispers in paradox
Escape from forever
forever and ever
Shed the governing
eternity

Welcome to this body of flesh
a spectral poise
of intergrace
Brief yet vivid
as the sunset in disguise

Eternity you are dying
your time has run-out
The vertigo of infinity settles
with a single gaze of fear and desire
We hail the temporal and urgent
possibility

an interesting new line of thought you have been expressing.

In Occidental theology, the word transcendent is used to mean outside of the world. In the East, it means outside of thought. To imagine that your definitions of your God have anything to do with that ultimate mystery is a form of sheer idolatry from this standpoint. Your God is good enough for you and mine’s good enough for me. A God, from this point of view, is merely a reflex of one’s ability to conceive of God. Since people have various abilities of this sort, they have various powers of apprehending God.
